5 Fine Jewelry Trends You'll Be the First to Know About
On Zendaya: Mateo Initial 14-Karat Gold Diamond Necklace ($595)
If you're getting an itch to buy more jewelry than usual this year, it's not a coincidence. According to Forbes, direct-to-consumer jewelry brands are thriving at the moment. This is likely attributed to the fact that we all need a little pick-me-up these days, and jewelry doesn't go in and out of style at even close to the pace of clothing and accessories, making it a great investment.
When it comes to investing in fine jewelry, you probably want to put some thought into it. It's a hefty purchase that you could end up wearing on a daily basis for years to come, so it's natural to want a little extra guidance. And who better to seek that from than the founder and creator of Mateo New York, Matthew Harris. Harris, who grew up in Jamaica and moved to the U.S. at 16, launched the celebrity-adored brand in 2009, actually starting with men's jewelry. Today, Mateo's stunning, modern pieces can be found at a plethora of retailers, including Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi, and Shopbop, and is loved by scores of stylish, in-the-know women.
When I reached out to Harris for his fine jewelry trend expertise, he told me that his mother always says that there's nothing new under the sun and that the trends that we have now have been here before. In my opinion, that's a testament to what a worthy investment fine jewelry is.
With that, keep reading to find out which five jewelry trends Matthew Harris is noticing across the board, and shop his beautiful pieces and others that represent said trends.
"Since our lives have been altered or changed due to COVID, for many, Zoom calls are now a daily norm. The perfect earring trend is alive and well. From huggies to statement earrings, I have noticed that earrings are a mainstay in every Zoom meeting, and why not! It's the opportunity to brighten up one's day while stuck at home working. One friend mentioned that she looks forward to getting dressed from the waist up and throwing on a pair of sparklers on the ears."—Matthew Harris"Personal jewelry is the biggest trend at the moment. People have moved away from "special occasion" pieces and are purchasing pieces that are more personal. We can't keep our Secret Initial pieces in stock. As they come off the workbench, they are sold out. 2020 has been an intense year, so anything to make us feel good is beyond welcome. Treating one's self with a piece of fine jewelry is some of the best self-care.""Long gone are the days when pearls were synonymous with grandma. The pearl trend is here to stay and we are beyond happy with it—from pearl beaded chokers to combinations of classic round pearls and more one-of-a-kind Baroque pearls. Dressed up or down, they are just perfect. [What makes them] even more special is that they are the only gemstones formed under any body of water. Just magical!""We are seeing a huge trend in bold gold pieces, in the form of linked chains and rings. Maximalist is back and chicer than ever.""This classic staple is back and here to stay, with diamond tennis necklaces, bracelets, and even anklets. They are a must-have, timeless in design and truly perfect for any occasion. We stan a diamond tennis necklace with jeans and a T-shirt, strolling down the aisle at Trader Joe's."
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
